E-scooter

Singapore-based company PopScoot, started in April this year, will bring the service to downtown commercial clusters and the heartland in September. The e-scooters will cost $2 for 30 minutes, with the first 10 minutes free of charge. By the end of August, four sites will start off first as docking stations. The four sites are at ManuLife Centre, Republic Plaza, Tiong Bahru Plaza and City Square Mall.

This mobility and e-scooter thing is just going too far and out of hand already. What possessed a man on an e-scooter to ride through the KPE Tunnel? It was reported that a person was seen riding an electric scooter along the road shoulder of a Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway tunnel early last Friday morning, based by a footage from an in-car camera.

The Police have said that they were aware of the incident, and urged anyone with information on the incident to make a police report on the case, so that appropriate actions can be taken. A 42-year-old taxi driver, who captured the incident on his in-car camera and declined to be named, said: "(It is) difficult to assess his speed as he was preparing to cut across the Upper Paya Lebar exit to continue his journey farther along the road shoulder. "I was going about 70 to 80kmh and he was slower than me."

Yesterday (28 February 2017), I spotted this e-scooter rider travelling on the roads along North Canal road. It is now illegal to ride scooters on the roads and worse of all, he was riding it against traffic.

Drink Driving is a serious violation under the laws of Singapore. The interpretation of "vehicle" is stated clearly. A bicycle isn't part of it. Many people ride bicycles after drinks. These people are a danger to themselves and to other road users. There isn't any provision to charge such violators.

Watch this video that I extracted from my car video... If accident really happens, I would be eye witness to say that no driver or biker is at fault, just watch for yourself... Sooner or later this type of young chap may pay a price for his foolish actions, & what's more unfortunate is cause trouble to a driver or biker whom bump this fella down...

As part of our regular enforcement, LTA conducts periodic enforcement operations against the reckless riding of personal mobility devices (PMDs) on roads and on footpaths. During one of our operations this month, our Active Mobility Enforcement Officers (AMEOs) stopped a PMD user who had been riding his e-scooter along Mandai Road, endangering both himself and other road users. His e-scooter has since been impounded.

I would like to share this to seek the mutual understanding between E-bikers, cyclists and other road users, especially heavy vehicles. Firstly, why are we riding such bicycles or scooters on the roads is because we need it to commute. Not everyone is fortunate enough to afford a bus ride. I think that more understand is needed from these road users, if we aren't fortunate enough to afford a simple and cheapest bus ride, let alone having a car.
